Anyone that has taken an introductory level of Psychology will know how easy it is to manipulate somebody into believing as you do. I learned in mine that there have been tests done where a man thought he was actually shocking another man in the next room, and continued to do so until supposed death just because the lab technition goaded him on and told the subject that he (the lab tech) was taking full responsibility for the supposed death. It was all a setup, and no harm was done to the supposed victim, but the test proved that almost all of the men were able to be persuaded by the man in the white lab coat to nearly kill another man. Another test was done by a university on women nurses ten years later that resulted in similar responses.
Conclusion...Hitler was not necessarily a great leader, he just proved that he knew how to persuade people to believe in his ideals.
